Abstract: In low-to middle-income countries, microbiological laboratories often use disc diffusion for antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST). Reliable AST of carbapenem antibiotics is crucial for treatment decisions and surveillance purposes. Transport and storage conditions of materials used for AST are critical and may be challenging in some settings, where temperature cannot always be controlled. This study aimed to test the stability of four carbapenems in discs for AST under unfavourable conditions,i.e., at ro… Show more
